Orbi RBR50 material became sticky
Hi all, this may not be related to technical issues, but I noticed my Orbi's exterior material has became sticky when I touch it. Has anyone else encountered this issue ?
I have just discovered that my 2 x Orbi RBR50s have gone sticky and are covered in fluff / dust. Tried wiping them / cleaning with no success. Neither is in direct sunlight and both are away from heat sources, and no humidity issues inside a heated house in winter / cooled in summer. It seems like a plastics failure.
Has anyone had their Orbis replaced as a manufacturing defect?
Otherwise they seem to be doing their job. Cheers
Same issue - very sticky with plastic disintegrating. Poor material selection!
